CSA

***All CSA Orders have been given out for the year! Thanks to all who participated. Sadly, at this time, we do not plan to continue this program in 2019 due to lack of interest.***

     For summer and fall of 2018, Sweetwater Farms will be trialing a CSA Program. CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture." CSA programs link farms and communities by allowing customers to prepay for produce that will then be available to them in monthly installments throughout the season. The prepayment provides the farm with the funds needed to start and maintain the crops until they begin to produce and sell.

     Our CSA Program will offer a limited number of spots for this year as we trial out the program. Customers will receive produce in monthly installments during July, August, September and October. Each installment will contain at least $20 of produce. The produce in each monthly batch will vary based on what is ready for picking that month. Your batch could include everything from carrots, lettuce, and squash, to bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplant. See below for a list of produce that may come in your monthly box. There is no guarantee that you will get a particular vegetable as we cannot guarantee quantity of production for any of our crops due to many factors outside of our control.

     Feel free to split your allotment with another family or friend. Splitting orders should be done after payment and pickup as we are unable to accept payment from both parties and split the order for pickup. If you need to have someone else pick up your order for the month, please notify us BEFORE pickup day so we have you permission to give if to that particular person.

     Customers will be notified when each month's produce box is ready for pickup. Pickup can be made at the farm or from the Roadside Stand. We can deliver to local addresses for a fee if needed.

     The cost to join the CSA Program will be $80. Payment can be made in cash, or through PayPal or Zelle. Payment is due by June 30, 2018 to be part of the program. We will offer discounted enrollment at $75 if you sign up and pay in full by May 25. Refunds will be given in the form of credit only, which can be used for future purchases from Sweetwater Farms.

    Hot pepper lovers can purchase the Hot Pepper Add-On, which will add our hottest peppers to your monthly box. Hot peppers will include a mix of Anaheim Chili, Poblano, Jalapeno, Habanero, Cayenne, Thai, Devil's Tongue, Scotch Bonnet, Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost or Carolina Reaper. The Add-On can be purchased individually for each month for $5, or $15 for all four months.

     Other products such as jellies, garlic, pickles and herbs can be added to your box at the normal farm price. They also could be included in your monthly box! Just let us know what extra you need when we contact you about the monthly pickup and we can add it to your order if it's not already a part of that month's box. Same goes for all other veggies if you want a particular veggie in a high amount than comes in the standard box.
